College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

I am in need of a good resource for alchemical operations and their symbology. Can anyone suggest a good book or online resource?

Jim -

What are your views on the Lurianic Kabbalah? I just came across it recently.

I was wondering if there is a source for the seals/sigils of the angels/intelligences/spirits of the 400 series of 776 1/2?

93,

Thanks, Jim

Is there a pdf of that? I ask because MItchell Nolte (www.facebook.com/Mitchellnoltear) expressed to me an interest in our female gnostic saints list. He's made an illustration featuring the saints from the Gnostic Mass and I think he may be thinking of updating it.

Is there a version of the Thelemic Mass suitable for public view?

Does anyone know where I can get the original hebrew of this?

Equinox 8 has "Sun of the Morning". it looks like the typo is in GD 6th edition.

@Takamba said

"Ah, but the copy in The Golden Dawn (Israel Regardie, Llewellyn's Golden Dawn Series, 6th Edition, twelfth printing, 2005) has "Son of the Morning, chief among the Mighty.""

I have the eighth printing. it does say "sixth corrected edition, though."

777 has "Sun of the Morning".

I guess that's it, then. Unless that's a typo.

A question about the esoteric name of The Emperor.

776.5 & Liber Theta give it as "Sun of the Morning, Chief Among the Mighty"

The Golden Dawn give it as "SON of the Morning"

Has it changed or is this a typo?

Also, isn't 'Son of the Morning' a reference to Venus as the Morning Star?

Any chance you have a pdf or word doc of this?

Jim,

Is there a particular edition of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras that you would recommend?

Okay.

Thanks

Is there an official scheme for colouring the Sigillum Die; Emeth? I see a supposed Golden Dawn colour scheme, but there are others as well.

Thanks!

Thanks, Jim.

I think I have that here, somewhere.

Is there a good explanatory essay on the particulars of the Sigillum Die?

I know there's a rudimentary one, but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything more detailed.

Col 601-603 of 776.5 list him as the Qlippoth of Hod.

This seems at odds with his role in rabbinical literature, where he is identified as the angel of death. His name means either "venom of god" (rabbinical) or "blind god" (Xian gnostic). While his ambiguous nature places him in the same category as mercury, I've never seen him as a corrupt or evil entity.

Is there a rationale for calling him the deceiver or false accuser?

Ah! thanks!
